THEP  RESIDENT'S  CHAIR.! 

AIR— "Star  Spangled  Banner." 

Ye  Soulhrons  arouse,  and  do  battle,  nor  yield 

To  the  black  northern  hordes  now  infesting  your\Li 

borders, 
Not  to  meet  a  brave  foe  on  a  fair  open  field, 
But  coward  assassins  and  midnight  marauders, 

Let  us  rise  in  our  might, 

Put  the  dastards  to  flight, 
Or  perish  like  Jackmn  defending  our  light, 
And  shew  them  no    black    hearted    traitors   shall 

dare 
Dispute  with  our  Davis  brave  Washington's  chairY, 

From  insulting  oppression  that  chafed  us  full  more' 
Kach  sovereign  state  claiua  t'le  right  of  seceding, 
Their  murderous  footsteps  are  marked  in  our  gore. 
On  their  hearth  stones  Missourri's  fair  daughters 
lie  bleeding. 

And  their  last  feint  death  cries 

Up  to  heaven  aiise, 
'Gainst  each  fratricide  craven  as  onward  he  flies, 
And  their  cowardly  chieftain  no  lonpor  shall  dare,j 
Usurp  from  our  Davis  the  Tresidents  chair. 

See!  they  come!  let  our  banner   float   out  on  the 

breeze, 
Carolinians,  Georgians  thon  whom  none  are  bolder 
Tennessee  and   Kentucky's   keen   marksmen   are 

these. 
Hark!  the   rifle's  sharp  click  aa   it  leaps   to  th 

shoulder. 

And  the  oath  they  renew, 
Bings  through  heaven's  clear  blue, 
That  shoulder  to  shoulder  brave  loyal  and  true, 
They'll  phow  them  no  dastardly  recreant  shall  dare 
Deprive  our  bold  Davis  of  Washmgton's  chair.      '
